After news dump Like when coward Bob “retired” Never a new trick

Sirwalterraleigh2 minutes ago

Do you ever try any other tricks than to play the card? Watch the video. Sometimes non-living things cause their own grief just on the merits Anyone would be getting blowed up in this scenario…Tony Baxter, Bob gurr, John hench and Marty sklar would be

In political circles, "document dumps" are released mostly on Fridays but over the weekend to get the bad news out there when major media aren't reporting on it but those releasing the info can't be blamed for withholding info either. This is the WDW equivalent.

Say directly what you are saying indirectly. I don't remember your vagaries when it came to Chapek and he is such a "villain," they could them a whole new park around him.

I don’t know, I think you give the execs to much credit. They are clearly not very bright considering the decisions they have been making.

IMHO, what the new ride is missing is that, when you're shrunk down, if it is intending to imply you've been turned into a frog, it is not obvious. This could have been easily corrected by having the portion right before the drop at 4:45 (with Mama Odie on the screen and immediately preceeding the "time to get tiny"), instead be a Dr. Facilier section where he does his musical number, then turns you into a frog. Then, as soon as you go down the drop, that large pink bottle at the 5:05 mark would have some sort of screen effect (simulating a mirror) where you see your entire log is now all frogs sitting in it floating through the water. That would make it clear that you're now all frogs and it would better explain why you are tiny and why the large frog at 5:12 is bigger than a normal human. Then the fireflies somehow help you turn Facilier into a frog (or otherwise neutralize him on the riders' behalf) right before the lift hill. Then the finale could have Frog Facilier somewhere towards the ending (demonstrating he's alive but yet again dealt with semi-permanently). This would (a) explain why you are small, (b) give a purpose to the fireflies room, (c) include the most interesting character from the film, (d) include the best music from the film, and (e) introduce a sense of conflict/danger. Seems to me this stuff should have been obvious to anyone in Imagineering, but apparently it wasn't.

couple of questions: so there is no music or sound effects going up the main lift hill? just a weak ray of light? and what is on the right side after the musical critters before you go down the first drop inside?

I agree it's bad but somehow I think Disney execs knew it so decided to get ahead of bad reception by releasing a video. That would dampen reception when bloggers/vloggers ride it because they'll have seen the video first.

This thread has me agreeing with Peter and Eddie…. …I need everyone to go to the nearest window and see if the four horseman are riding down your street 🫣

Stop, I can’t take this anymore……....talk about having me drooling like a Pavlovian dog!

Ok I just sorted the comments on the YouTube Video by newest since I figured maybe the negative ones where getting filtered to the top. Nope. This is crash and burn territory. Disney should probably turn off the comments or take the video down. This is Starcruiser promo level of bad.

…not these days

Sirwalterraleigh15 minutes ago

I think the issue is they have locked it in a measuring contest for at least 20 years. And that is ON THEM. Their parks need new things with a clean slate to provide more value day in and out and appeal to a wider array of tastes. They do NOT need rethemes with lightning lane in mind. And that is bad management

Maybe. I'm guessing they wanted cast members and bloggers to see it in advance so they could be prepared. A person's reaction will be less negative riding it if they see it in advance.
